OUR MAN ZEBO is handed the vote in a very tricky race to sum up. Michael Hourigan's charge showed good pace throughout when landing a point at Lemonfield a month ago and should have the speed for this. Inis Ui Dhrisceoil was half-a-length behind today's rival Wayupinthesky at Dromahane and that form should enable the pair of them to get involved along with Leanna Ban, who has improved with each run and was always in the front rank when scoring at Bennetsbridge in February. Halls Bridge is going the right way having won very easily at Belclare so is another to consider.
